<p id="GUID-DB85598A-52FE-432A-B0E7-5BCBED5605D4">The Batch Attribute Editor widget allows you to select features—either related features, based on another layer, or by sketching in a shape—and update common attributes at the same time. For example, an operations manager can use the Batch Attribute Editor widget to select assets (features) that need to be inspected and assign these features to a specific field crew.</p><div class="section1" id="GUID-9AAA5446-0B84-43A4-A1FC-1424A77308B2" purpose="section1"><h2>
